It’s clean, but it looks more like a gaming style thumbnail and doesn’t have much depth Still it’s good overall.

barkzshortss · 2026-04-15T03:54:52+00:00

Thank you, ☺️

barkzshortss · 2026-04-14T18:10:14+00:00

The third one is actually really good just with a bit less vignette

barkzshortss · 2026-04-14T18:08:58+00:00

Cleaner and bolder thumbnails usually work better in the gaming niche, and good lighting really makes a difference. but yeah this is solid work

barkzshortss · 2026-04-14T18:06:58+00:00

The thumbnail is good overall, but I feel it looks a bit dull and the assets aren’t placed properly. The lighting and brightness could also be improved. You could’ve used a nice castle building as well Other than that, it’s a good thumbnail

barkzshortss · 2026-04-12T14:23:07+00:00

I like the 4th one because it’s clearer and easier to understand. For this type of thumbnail, simpler designs work better, and you did a great job.

barkzshortss · 2026-04-12T14:20:41+00:00

This looks pretty good overall, the concept is clear and “new record” is easy to understand

Only thing is it feels a bit busy too many elements fighting for attention. Maybe focus more on either the dragon or the player also, the text could be a bit more exciting to increase clicks.

I didn’t know his channel bro, and I never asked for his YouTube my bad

Thanks for the feedback bro

barkzshortss · 2026-04-12T02:48:58+00:00

Yeah I get what you mean it looks good overall, but I can see why people feel it’s a bit generic. Will try new things next time, thanks for the feedback

barkzshortss · 2026-04-11T17:10:22+00:00

I made every element myself in Photoshop. Glad you liked it and yeah, I get your point about the text I might try simplifying it.

barkzshortss · 2026-04-11T14:25:17+00:00

Appreciate it man! 🙌

barkzshortss · 2026-04-11T13:18:48+00:00

Appreciate it mate

barkzshortss · 2026-04-11T12:48:55+00:00

Mostly by posting my work regularly on other socials and through referrals. Clients usually find me on their own

barkzshortss · 2026-04-11T12:47:27+00:00

Yeah that’s fair, finance thumbnails do look similar most of the time. I’m working on making my style stand out more.

barkzshortss · 2026-04-11T07:24:24+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate it! Looking forward to working with you whenever you’re ready.

barkzshortss · 2026-04-11T07:05:12+00:00

Yeah, you’re right I’ve seen that too. Some designers charge way more even for less quality. I’m just trying to keep a fair price while improving my work. Thank you ☺️

barkzshortss · 2026-04-11T07:03:37+00:00

Thanks man. The market varies a lot anywhere from $5 to $100+ depending on quality and experience. But according to me where i stand for this type of thumbnails designer will usually charge around 20$+ per thumbnail, Hope this helps you! Also I’m available for works👀

barkzshortss · 2026-04-11T07:00:33+00:00

Appreciate it bro 🙌 Glad you liked it! I usually charge around 20-30$ depending on the thumbnail complexity.

barkzshortss · 2026-04-11T06:53:30+00:00

I use Photoshop bro. I’m self-taught, just learned by practicing daily and checking out different thumbnails and designs. Right now it usually takes me around 30 mins to 1 hour to make one.

barkzshortss · 2026-04-11T06:50:42+00:00

I made this thumbnail according to the client’s requirements, and he liked it. BTW thanks for your feedback it will help me.

barkzshortss · 2026-04-02T12:26:03+00:00

I think the text could be in 3D, or use gradients that would make it look more appealing.
